I think Riggleman should have Felix DH between starts. Do some sort of Brooks Kieschnick thing (bad example..sorry.) I hear the M’s are coaxing former pitcher Frankie Rodriguez out of retirement so he can pitch run if Turbo ever gets on base.

Ladies and gentlemen, I wish that for the sake of your fragilely jealous psyches I could restrain myself from flaunting this, but… I was there! Yes, I saw Felix’s grand slam in person!

I was there. I happened to get tickets to a Seattle game at the Mets two months ago and it turned out to be this one. Was about seven rows off first-base, attending the game with my co-worker, a Mets fan. Wright blows the ending inning play from third. Next pitch, grand slam! The fans were in shock. Not only did Felix hit a grand slam, but hew did it off Johan. Awesome.

This is my first post on this ship. As we say in NYC “long time listener first time caller”. And I post just to say “WTF?”.

Work kept me late and an hour behind schedule. So unfortunately I was on the 7 train on my way to the game when the- what you all here call- statistical anomaly of epic proportions occurred.

My brother who is at the game texts me:
The King just went oppo for a grandslam against Johan

My response:
!!!????!!!!????

My brother respond:
I know

Third lessons that should be gleened from yesterday’s game.

1. Pitchers should not block the plate as if they have shin guards.
2. Picthers hitting is awesome, and real baseball.
3. Although very irksome the oppo grand slam was a very good baseball moment and a great one if you happen to be wearing a hat with an M or one of those cool upside down trident logol caps.
